    Stayed here for two nights and the hotel staff was really wonderful and accommodating. Jorge at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Hotel was great for the location and price for the area. Pool was fun to swim in. Best part of our trip was renting the scooters outside of the hotel and riding around town. Would definitely recommend renting a scooter to take you down to santa monica pier or beach area. …
